Thread: Unidentified Warning Light

Other pictures online have it as either that or the traditional parkers/lights on indicator of a forward and a rearward light

If it is the green car symbol - it tells you that your headlamps are on.

Have you updated the instrument panel software recently?

I've got a vague recollection that that warning light is used for lights on when the 2008+ instrument panel software is used on an early dash.

It's actually very red and has 3 arrows coming up into the bottom of the vehicle.

BINGO! I did that this morning Dave as I wanted to have the clock in the message centre.

Thanks all - please revert to usual Saturday evening activities.

Most info that I have been able to find also shows the "lights" indicator in this position. However, if you go to the site https://lr3tips.wordpress.com/owners-manuals/

and select the "British Disco3 manual" option, you will find the indicator light with the symbol that you have shown in this position. It looks like you might have a British import instrument cluster - the indicator is for "Auxiliary Heating" according to this manual (see No. 24 below). A couple of relevant extracts from the manual are attached.

I assume that the "FBH" they refer to in this document is a "Fuel Burning Heater" and not the rather large hammer that this abbreviation would normally refer to in Australia.

If it is the red symbol in the shape of a car with 3 wavey red arrows going up to the car.

That's a very early 04-05 era light to say the fuel burning heater is activated and working.

However, Land Rover turned this feature off in a service update here in the uk as it kept freaking people out.

I have it reactivated as the symbol to tell me my auto lights have turned on as there is no symbol for that. So when the lights come on, that red symbol comes on.

Later cars from 07 onwards have the green headlight symbol in that location.

Yes that is the symbol and I obviously activated it in my 2006 vehicle using 2007+ software. At least now I will know when my lights are on as previously there was no way of knowing unless you put them on high beam and the blue light symbol activated.

If you read the Gap instructions it states that this behaviour happens with the software update.
